Walk With Me

I started my week with a walk. It was brisk and I wasn't feeling so great, but I bundled up and did it anyway. I'm glad I did. When I headed out, the sun was barely up.I crunched through the leaves, so sneaking up on my wild friends wasn't in the cards, but I could hear them crunching too.This snarly old tree always reminds me of the thumping trees in the Wizard of Oz, especially when its branches sway and creak on windy days.There's so much beauty......and gracefulness.I walked on the rock ledge.Of course, Bruno was with me. He adores a walk in the woods.Looks like a cozy place to curl up...Bruno investigated it thoroughly!The woods are full of amazing texture...this is a shag bark hickory. Love it.Such character in this bark.I love walking under nature's gate. It signals that I'm close to home.I remember, it was a walk like this that inspired this quilt. It may be the first one I finish when the quilts for the book are done.Off to work. Hope your week had a great start too!

The winner of Malka's new book, Fresh Quilting, is Erin M who said," Like many I make things for many reasons, to see if I can do it, to save money, to give my hands something to do and on and on. Thanks for the giveaway. Sure would be fun to look through this book." Congratulations Erin! Drop me an email with your contact information. Be sure to continue the tour today with more chances to win this great book.

Jacquie, While talking of walking--is Team Quilter Butts happening in 2011? I'd love to join and am glad to find out about the virtual transcontinental website (coincidentally, I've been wanting for a long time to find a virtual transcontinental walking website that would enable me to walk somewhere that I will never be able to visit in person--like Mongolia or Murmansk). I'm new to your blog and am particularly dazzled by the spiderweb selvedge quilt. Cheers, Becky Wolsk in DCwww.textislepatchworkblog.com
